PodBOT Error

[siq_amxx]

Well I've Done Everything You Asked.. and this what happens when i type meta list

[ 2] <podbot_mm.dll> badf load podbot_mm.dll v - ini - -

[KWo]

Post Your ...addons\metamod\plugins.ini file here. How did You install podbot mm? Did You download and unzipped the fullpack or only the beta binaries? The first time You need to install the fullpack - then updates only.
Is this windows or linux server? Is this a dedicated server (You setup the server but You don't play on that PC) or You are creating the game and then You are playing obn the same PC (in this case it's a listenserver)? What is Your mod (CS1.6 CS1.5 CZERO)? Metamod version (number - don't tell me "the latest one")?

I am getting the same thing:linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
Metamod:
linux addons/statsme/dlls/statsme_mm_i386.so
linux addons/hlguard/dlls/hlguard_mm_optimized_i686.so
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

This is a linux dedicated server, pr 3.4ghz Dual core, 2gb ram, 250gb hd. Metamod:v1.19
CS1.6.
In console it says:
L 10/22/2006 - 14:38:44: [META] ERROR: dll: Failed query plugin '<podbot_mm_i386.so>'; Couldn't open file '/home/games/hlds_l/cstrike/addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so': Invalid handle.

[KWo]

First of all - Your metamod's plugins,ini should look so:

linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
linux addons/statsme/dlls/statsme_mm_i386.so
linux addons/hlguard/dlls/hlguard_mm_optimized_i686.so
linux addons/podbot/podbot_mm_i386.so

I have no idea why do You need statsme and AMX MOD X (AMX MOD X has the same and even better stats functionality than StatsMe), btw...

Another thing - how did You install podbot mm? Read my previous post - install first the fullpack, then - if it's working, update the binaries only.

One thing more - podbot mm has been compiled for linux with gcc v3.4.5 - so if Your gcc of Your system is older You need to upgrade the system first.

The last thing - You may have also some problems with some linux libraries. Read the sticky about problem with loading podbot mm under linux.

I hope some of my hints can help You.

Thats all the errors.

If You want to get helped try to read everything I wrote You and write some answers to my questions/hints. I don't need to see 2 times the same error messages without more Your comments about Your installation, gcc version etc...

I've done it exactly as you said from the start. I even tried using the pre-packaged version so I know that the configs were exactly correct. How do I check my gcc version, since that is the last thing that could be possibly wrong.

For that I must ask KaszpiR (You can find him in that topic I've invoked for You 2 times). But before we know this, try to do this: Just install the gdb package and add the -debug parameter to your hlds_run command line. Also post the result of running in a shell console:

 cat /proc/cpuinfo  free  uname -a

I want to see if it's some problem with some library or not (but this is shown only in debug mode).

Not sure if that is what you wanted, i added -debug and thats what it gave me, is there a certain file it rights to while it debugs?

What is the distribution of the linux (with version number)? Make sure the names of all Your podbot folders (main and subfolders) are in lower case sensitivity. It canot be anything like "Podbot" or "PODBOT". For linux it must be "podbot". It looks like the podbot_mm_i386.so file cannot be found at the place Your plugins.ini is pointing it too. I'm waiting for KaszpiR with more help.
